Abstract
A laminated ceramic electronic component includes a ceramic body, first and second inner electrodes within the ceramic body and including opposed portions opposed to each other in the thickness direction of the ceramic body, a first terminal electrode electrically connected to the first inner electrode, and a second terminal electrode electrically connected to the second inner electrode. The widthwise distance between first widthwise edges and second widthwise edges of the first and second terminal electrodes are smaller, in plan view, than widths of the first and second inner electrodes at the opposed portions.
Claims16
A laminated ceramic electronic component comprising:
- a ceramic body including first and second principal surfaces extending along lengthwise and widthwise directions of the laminated ceramic electronic component and opposed to each other, first and second side surfaces extending along the lengthwise and thickness directions of the laminated ceramic electronic component and opposed to each other, and first and second end surfaces extending along the widthwise and thickness directions of the laminated ceramic electronic component and opposed to each other;
- first and second inner electrodes within the ceramic body and including opposed portions opposed to each other in the thickness direction;
- a first terminal electrode extending along a range from the first end surface to the second principal surface and electrically connected to the first inner electrode;
- and
- a second terminal electrode extending along a range from the second end surface to the second principal surface and electrically connected to the second inner electrode;
- wherein
- widths of the first and second terminal electrodes are smaller, in plan view, than widths of the opposed portions of the first and second inner electrodes;
- and
- the ceramic body includes a first ridge line portion continuous with the second principal surface and the first side surface and a second ridge line portion continuous with the second principal surface and the first side surface, the first ridge line portion and the second ridge line portion are rounded, and the first and second terminal electrodes extend onto the first and second ridge line portions but do not extend to the first and second side surfaces.
